What this means

Fiber choice comes before serving. Strand count sets finished string diameter, so it needs to work with the nock fit, cam tracks, and serving plan for the bow. Feet per pound helps a builder work out how much material the chosen strand count calls for on a given build.

Fit note

Use B55 only when it suits the intended bow and build process. Check the bow's specifications before cutting material, and inspect any loose serving or visible damage before the bow is drawn.

See the bow string making supplies guide for a closer look at string-building materials.
